46. Vicki's Story: Uncovering Sexual Trauma in Sobriety

Vicki is 62 years old, she's a self declared army brat and the other of two incredibly smart girls.  She began drinking at age 14, sex followed.  She did well in School and made it through college, getting a job as a middle school art teacher, which lasted 30 years.  She began recovery in May of 2017, no relapse. She began with a first step program (15 days inpatient followed by 6 weeks intensive outpatient)  Over the past 5 years many good things have come to Vicki.  

On January 25th 2022, Vicki Asked her only remaining relative, her uncle, if there was anything disturbing on that side of the family.  As it turned out, Vicki’s mother caught Vicki’s grandfather doing something to her…it was the mid 1960’s when this happened.  Vicki has no memory yet.

Vickie is still searching for herself, she knows she’s in there somewhere.  While she processes that work, Vicki loves to share with others who have questions about sobriety…
